Such an amazing opening visual for a dead show too. GD has always had a theme to the way they write their sets death rebirth second set with crazy jam into drums and space rebirth into Stella or some ballad to ground again. This visual to start the wall of sound opening to the 13 pointer opening to 710 then with the song picking up there’s a literal takeoff from “home” into the cosmos is just awesome and hits perfect.
Awesome intro. Kind of perfect, actually. Cool to see the fans so receptive to the new technology. Thought maybe with older fans they might kind of reject it. Looks like everyone was loving it, though.
@@ct6852 Various businesses on Haight have changed over the years, but otherwise the street probably looks much the same as it did in the 60s. Ashbury is virtually unchanged except for 710 has been repainted, and the cars lining the street are all more modern.
@@warrendietzel1953 There were definitely some tour buses going by when I stayed with her. Not too many block parties or anything. But some high teenagers for sure. And one homeless guy sprawled out on her stoop who made it pretty awkward going in and out. Had to pick up his wheelchair and move it.
I've seen dead and company numerous times unfortunately I can't make it to the sphere this year lol but one thing that I was really curious about when they announced that dead and company was a thing, was how is John Mayer going to fit into this hole thing? And in my opinion he totally changed my mind I always knew he was a phenomenal guitar player but he was a perfect fit for dead and company and he actually surprised me on a few occasions so all in all I approve and I hope Bill gets better and plays again
I heard the sound is better is you sit in the seats but looks like that is not going to happen. Cant wait for next weekend!! Are these seats 400 level?
I've been to the Sphere for a U2 show and a movie in addition to this last night. Sound will be amazing regardless anywhere however the "butt buzzers" (haa) are used a lot during this show and definitely add to the experience. People rotated between standing and sitting quite a bit depending on the song. I recorded from row 17 of section 306 - right side on the isle.
This is the lowest hanging fruit ever, way too easy, the definition of IRONIC. Here goes: The Warlocks changed their name to The Grateful Dead on Dec 4th, 1965 at a Ken Kesey Acid Test. Safe to say psychedelic light shows became part of their shows like NO OTHER BAND EVER. Every show I went to at Winterland had a ‘Liquid Visuals’ lightshow (look up right here on RUclips). I wasn’t into LSD etc. so I rarely watched, but to others I’m sure the visual combined with the music was the whole idea of why the band actually put it up there. To begrudge the people who watch is to begrudge the band which begs the question: am I the only one who thought the last fans in the world to engage in trolling or raining on other people’s parade would be Dead Dead fans? H.L. Mencken quote: “Puritanism: “The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, is happy”. Grateful Dead Puritan “The Haunting fear that if too many people out there start enjoying a different rendition of “their” music, what they’ve “owned” and deified will somehow be diminished”.
@@geoffspakes You must be the guy that was in front of me at the last show I went to. If you hold your phone over your head to get footage of the show, then the person behind you, who also paid, can no longer see. However, since I wasn't at this particular show, I suppose you are correct that it doesn't affect me. The Dead have always been open to allowing recordings of their shows, but not at the expense of others. They used to have zones in front of the soundboard where people could record. If you went to a Dead show, you knew not to stand in front of this area, and those recording knew not to block others.
@keenanhall8759 One doesn't need to hold their phone up above their head to record. The phone was below my face while recording. I glance down to make sure I'm catching what I want, but not even my view is blocked.... Only the idiots, unpracticed or old at heart hold their phones up above their heads 🤷🙄
What an amazing experience! Thank you for sharing this!❤

The Sphere is a giant canvas that takes wild imagination to fill. This one fits the bill.
Now the deaf and even partially blind can enjoy going to concerts too, and feel more part of mainstream society.
The visuals are just incredible! I love seeing the SF landscape!
Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤
Imagine Pink Floy performing there 🤩
Thank you for sharing!
Yes thank you. that brought a tear to my eyes and butter fly's to my tummy.. Impressive
So the dead already blew phish’s opening visuals out the water (no pun intended)
Were you at the Phish shows? The visuals they pulled off were far superior than a picture of our globe.
Love me some Dead and love me some Phish!! All is great entertainment and how lucky we are 🤗
Not even close dude.
Just like the quality of the music.....Not even close.
Phish is terrible…zero redeeming qualities whatsoever.
@@justing42 bands performing at an extremely high-level are not for everyone. You should just stick to the painful spoken word of slow and company.
Love me some Phish at the Sphere! Sunday night was off the hook. This Dead and Co looks amazing. Wish I could do it all. Just money 🤑
Phish??? Ugh.
Doesn't phish have member in the band that got busted for being a pedo???

LOTS of cheering on the visuals the entire show!
At 3:19 I can see my old apartment.
My sister lived on Haight for a few years. Would imagined it's changed quite a bit over the years.

@@ct6852 The people have changed for sure, but the buildings have changed very little to none at all.
I approve of The Sphere.....
Incredible
Wow that would've been awesome
We get to see Jerry's view.

Потрясно!
Pretty visual. Nice video
Can You Pass- The Sphere Test!?

I love the cut 😂
Unbelievable fucking amazing 🤩🤩🤩
Wild.
Who remembers the episode of phineas and ferb when they did this?
Garcia Robert Brown George Lee Cynthia
incredible
Wouldn't you feel kind of dumb holding your phone in front of your face for the whole show only to find out it's on You Tube?
Just leave people alone and let them enjoy however they want to. It doesn’t affect you one single bit.
@@geoffspakes Nah people need to be shamed if we want society to get back on track.

@@huelerhuelin3334 You’re the problem with society judging and shaming other people for things they do that don’t effect you one bit.
What an angle
wow.
Real question. What are the specs on the computer used to run these graphics?
Right! I'm a nerd and have wondered the same! They have their own camera system now to record I know, but not sure about this side of it.
Dizzy with eternity
You couldnt handle thay shit on strong acid man

Radio head or tool would go over well here
Nice! What section are you in?

Young Larry Williams Kimberly Jackson Nancy
What's the name of the song playing?
ok, I sussed it - it's Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo (everyone was singing the wrong words!)
Track title, please!!!
I'm a new dead head (this was my first show) so I don't know these things haaaa 😂😂😂
Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo
Glad they didnt zoom in on what a Sht Show San Francisco is today.
This video is 7 seconds too long.
wtf is this
Great another round earth propaganda. Would not expect that from this band
Very fitting username lol
Go for a walk and don’t stop until you fall off ✌🏻
At least they didn't zoom in on what a Sht Show San Francisco is today.
Did the lyrics: picture a bright blue BALL spinning free, gave you a hint?
It’s ridiculous. I never went to concerts to watch some stupid video screen.
This is much more than a screen. All your senses are addressed much more than that! State of the art and amazing 👏
